Frank Frazetta made this poster for Luana, a film that has since drowned in the seas of time (although not for a lack of exclamation marks)… The poster is still cool, though.

At the Movie Poster Awards, some clever busibodies are collecting what they consider to be the best movie posters. Some of them are done by cartoonists, such as Jack Davis (left) or Neil Adams (right).

I like this. A lot. The colors may be a bit to real and too gritty, but I still like it.

Awards Daily has the new poster for the Philip Seymour Hoffman film The Savages, which was done by Chris Ware (as confirmed, it would seem about a month ago) by the Acme Novelty Archive. And people rave about it.

Hellboy 2 - scary !

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

FirstShowing.net announces the new Hellboy movie (aptly called “Hellboy 2” ) ! I liked the first one the way I like white chocolate. I just hope the second one won’t make me feel nauseous the way too much white chocolate does.

Cool poster, though.

I’m in online marketing, juggling with words like “banner” and “click through rate” and “KPI”. This film really makes me ache for a real, hands-on job. Wonderful stuff.

Here is, of course, the celebrated comic in which Richard McGuire interweaves incidents and scenes that take place in a single room over time. It was published in RAW 2.1, and it is considered a masterpiece.

In 1991, Timothy Masick and William Traynor made a short film based on this strip, which is equally mind-boggling.

–> Update !
After we linked to the film version of Here, the nice people at Entrecomics went and posted the complete original strip. Nice !

A very simple ad, sublimely playing on the instant recognisability of Superman’s primary colors costume.
